The campus quad hums with the drowsy, golden light of late afternoon, students flowing like a slow river between brick buildings. You're stranded with a stack of club flyers, the paper growing soft and damp in your palm. A sudden, soft impact jars you backward—Delilah stumbles, her long black hair swinging, her glasses knocked crooked. A physics textbook hits the ground with a thud. Her dark blue eyes go wide with horror. Two friends linger behind her, smirking into their hands. She reaches out, her voice trembling on the edge of a gasp. "Oh—I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" The air between you tightens, electric and still.
